Here’s what’s hip. Call in your requests and let us know how we’re sounding!
Wilco - Glad It’s Over - The soundtrack for the TV show Heroes is packed with some great music, including bands like Death Cab For Cutie, My Morning Jacket, and this song from Chicago’s well-loved Wilco. This track did not make it onto Wilco’s latest album, Sky Blue Sky, but I actually prefer it to most of what did make the cut. It has that stripped-down, honest sound that has kept Jeff Tweedy his own special place in the hearts of many.
The Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be - This upbeat, Britpop band’s sophomore release promises to be as entertaining and catchy as their debut effort. Their new album, Konk, drops this week.
We Are Scientists - After Hours - While this band may continue to fail to make a significant splash in the states, their new single is picking up a lot of attention in Europe and on the blog scene. The band describes their sound as “rock music of the thoughtful, sometimes epic, often loud, vaguely danceable, implicitly humanist variety.” I’m not entirely sure what some of that really means, but I’m nonetheless happy that we’re playing the new stuff.
